Neowin is reporting that people have found a way to "QA flag" Ps3's:
"But what exactly is a "QA flag"?
Aside from the retail models you would buy in any good electronics store, there are different PS3 models out there. For example, there are debug or "test" PS3s that will run unsigned code. As you might imagine, developers use these to test games with. The console itself is no different than a retail PS3, it just has different "flags" set within its EEPROM. In fact, the first PS3 hacks that appeared last year worked mostly by manipulating these flags in memory to make a retail PS3 act like a debug unit. The QA flag is a special flag that removes many of the restrictions placed within a PS3. Downloaded content wont be checked for a valid license, programs wont be checked if they're digitally signed, an option appears that allows you to downgrade your console and so on, all on an unmodified retail firmware. The purpose of the flag is simply for testing - as you might have alread...
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Wow, talk about a sensational title.
Is there even a point in clicking the full story? Summary people...it's supposed to be short.
Anyway, PS3's pandora's box is open and it is pretty evident it cannot be shut.
PS3 has gone from the most secure console to the easiest console to hack in the last couple of months. Should not have removed otheros, it was keeping the hackers at bay
USELESS:
why?
Be on 3.55 OFW
It works only for people with CFW 3.55, so yeah - it's not hacked again it's just another option for people with current CFW. (milions of) People on 3.56+ can't do shit.
Yeah very misleading title. Well if it gets hacked again so be it, I've removed my credit card information anyways. :p
